Here a, b, and c indicate p < 0.001, p < 0.01, and p < 0.05.
1 A positive (negative) coefficient of the covariate indicates that it widens (reduces) the gap between the poor and the non-poor to experience the occurrence of the outcome variables.
2 Within the explained gap of the prevalence of hypertension, as having undiagnosed hypertension, and untreated hypertension 65.1%, 30%, and 43.9% can explained by the differences between the poor and non-poor individuals in the distribution of age, currently married, currently working, BMI, education, gender, living in a patriarchal family, no. of adult members, no. of household members, place of residence, and division respectively.
3 The difference between hypertension, as having undiagnosed hypertension, and untreated hypertension amongst poor-non-poor.
